Let the hate consume us all! And we aren't saying people that like it are wrong stumpy, I was merley pointing out that MOST of us are just saying the head looks goofy, which deals in no way with the mold. It was said how we loved FE Bulkhead, but now that Hasbro put a Brawn head on it we all hate that mold......not true. Most of us have said that the figure looks funny BECAUSE of the head, not the FE Bulkhead mold itself. And you're right, if there is only ONE opinion, it's not an opinion anymore...it's Fascism.

Looking to acquire a complete set of the G1 Insecticons (Bombshell, Kickback, and Shrapnel). They dont have to be MISB, have the cards. The TRU re-issues are fine too. The only person that can verify my buying status is CounterPunch as he is the only person I have purchased from.

I appreciate the idea of updating G1 Brawn into a mold that looks much more the part of "strong man" he played, but yeah, this didn't work out as well as hoped, I think. Does anyone with good photoshoping skills want to try slapping that head on the Commander class Cyberverse Bulkhead body and touch it up with this paint scheme?

And Krok, if you think some transformers fans are over the top with the fanrage and venomous spite, be glad you're not a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog.

A couple months ago everybody was going head over heels for FE Bulkhead. Now it's the devil spawn, because the head is different.

I don't expect everybody to like everything, or agree with everybody, but when people start to disagree with themselves because the head is different.... They need to consult psychologist..

Seriously, the head is so offensive, a once praised mold for its greatness, and cartoon accuracy is now complete crap?

Anyway, I like it, if I can get my hands on one I will. And if this may be the only way to get FE molds rereleased over here then fine. The head to me is fine, sure it's not Primish, but it works to identify the character, and the color scheme is close enough to bulkhead for it to work as.ri,e Bulkhead.

Look at it this way. Let's say we take your girlfriend, who has a a great body and is the object of affection not only to you, but also your friends and replace her head with that of Sylvester Stallone.

This is such a bad compairison lol I like my TFs but I no way will I ever consider one the object of my affection lol they are just plastic it's not that serious.

That's all relative to the ammount of money you have invested in them. If you only have a few figures you bought from wal-mart or something yeah, I can see that. But if you have spent more on just your transformers than the price of a mid-size car...you have to be somewhat emotionally attached to them, otherwise you wouldn't have spent that kind of money.

Oh trust me I have enuf of them I used to have over 600 TFs I was missing 4 figures from the dc universe classics line and I had all sub lines and Matty figures not even released yet. 300 marvel universe figures a hefty amount of dc direct figures. But in the end I sold almost everything except anything chug related and prime and a couple Radom batman and green lantern figures. I had every single DOTM figure released in Americas Retail stores plus the last wave that never hit. Every human alliance figure almost every animated figure I didn't like the activators I even had the takara figures that didn't make it to the states. I have a ton of 3rd party including most FP sets. I have shattered glass Hotrod and henkei wildrider. And even after selling most of it except for chug figures I still have 300 TFs figures left. But the point is I'm attached to my figures but I sold all that so I can go places this summer with my family. I didn't have to sell them but I would rather have the extra cash to do more things with my family because no matter how much I love TFs I could never compair them to my beautiful wife and kids. And I don't think any other man in their right mind should either. Atleast I made YouTube videos to remember my figures by lol

I'm the same way, that's why my collection is so small in a relative sense. I tell my wife all the time that if I can afford a TF, and we can still make ends meet with a little to spare, she' ok. She also knows I will never put a TF over her and my son. I'm not saying to be emotionally attached you have to put TFs over EVERYTHING in your life, but you have to have some connection to them. That's the whole reason I started collecting almost 3 years ago, for my love of TFs. And I agree with you, no sane person should ever put this hobby over their family...cause then I believe they have a problem.

It was a daft choice to use FE molds but its Hasbro Asia, Brawn is likely never getting a release outside their territory. And instead the US and hopefully the UK will be getting FE Bulky, so really... its not a big deal what this guy looks like since he's gonna be too difficult/expensive to buy and youre getting the original anyway

When I first saw gdo cliff I thought he was bad but after I got him in hand I like him. It's just that everyone is so used to seeing his body on prime cliff. But once u get passed that he's a really good figure and I think brawn is gonna be the same way.

Block out Brawn's head with your thumb and you'll see it.

It actually looks better when you block out Brawn's head....like an ED-209.

Given, I know it can't be perfect... but maybe ONE size class up for leaders? They could easily do multiple sizes for Prime, because they know we'll buy them. How about a complete set of legends minibots, because they're just little cheapo figures?

I'm just used to my fellow fans whining about everything. I'd even go as far as to say I'd miss them if they left the message boards and various other websites and went about their daily lives whine-free.

Cause at that point you would just have everybody saying how awesome Hasbro is no matter what they do! It would be almost like a cult. Except without that whole mass suicide thing

You get points because that was funny, really funny. But totally not the same thing at all. Still I don't mind the head.

"The man with the ship and the big red button holstered onto his belt that calls a giant fire-breathing lizard, is always the cool one."

I’m not sure why you consider a new head sculpt to be lazy. A straight repaint would be lazy, calling the character a name that has a weaker visual identity could arguably be considered lazy (Powerdive, while lovely, contained very little Powerdive for instance and few people minded).

Sure, Brawn may not work as Brawn (I’ll reserve my opinion until in hand photos surface) but to call it lazy is incredibly unfair.

But honestly, call this the straw, because to hell with this forum.

I’m honestly not sure how everyone summons such vehement hatred for anything produced post circa 1988 on a daily basis and I’m honestly not sure why the loudest and more obnoxious fans feel quite so entitled and deserving of Hasbros undivided attention, especially considering just how loud and obnoxious they are but the bile that comes from this forum is inexcusable. Not everything Hasbro produce is pure gold but the way this forum reacts is just embarrassing when you consider that behind the keyboards are not 12 year olds but chaps in their middle ages with 12 year olds.

Yes, you have opinions and I’m sure it’s a lovely and unique snowflake of a thing but take a deep breath before posting, considers maybe, that this limited release retool is not the worst thing to happen to your family, that Hasbro is not threating to drown a loved one unless you make the purchase and show an ounce of **** class before responding.

But like I say, my toys have long exited the pram, so carry on.

How is me calling it lazy "incredibly unfair"? I think your "incredibly sensitive"! It's a new head on Bulkheads body!! Now if that isn't lazy then what is?

And where is all this vehement hate and bile your going on about in the forums? I can't believe how F**kin righteous and noble you think you are!

Me calling the release "piss poor" is loud and obnoxious?? FU and i'm glad my post was the straw that broke your back?! Good!! i'm glad i'm the guy who did it to you and it's hopefully making you pack your bags and leave the forums! whiney prick.

And coming here on the forums and telling all of us your opinion on how absurd and immature you think we are doesn't make you the better man or whatever you are. Just makes you an arrogant a**hole.

Now that's my example of what hate and bile with a dose of loud and obnoxious actually looks like.

Not sure why you would even say that.

I meant that is what it would be like if everybody that complained, griped, or said anything negative about Hasbro went away from all the forums...not in general. Hasbro has a lot of ground to regain before I will consider them "awesome".
